What atlas public affairs does

Atlas Public Affairs is a Paris-based boutique public affairs and lobbying consulting firm founded in 2010 by Christophe Droguere. The firm advises enterprises, professional federations, trade associations, startups, and foreign entities on influencing French, European, and territorial legislative and regulatory frameworks. Its service portfolio spans seven core offerings: public affairs strategy, public affairs plan deployment (lobbying execution), mutualized lobbying (including the branded Club Industrie program), professional association creation and management, executive training, international intermediation, and HATVP/RGPD compliance support.

The firm operates a traditional professional services model with no proprietary technology stack, software product, or API surface disclosed. Delivery relies on human-driven advisory work, parliamentary monitoring, stakeholder mapping, and event-based convening. The team of approximately 7-15 staff includes former parliamentary collaborators, Brussels-based EU affairs specialists, and sector experts across energy, insurance, real estate, and consumer goods. In 2025, Atlas joined NSI, the global influence agency of Groupe ADIT, integrating into a platform with presence in nine cities (Paris, Brussels, London, Bonn, Montreal, Toronto, Dubai, Rabat, Mexico).

Revenue is generated through retainer-based advisory engagements with enterprises and professional federations operating in highly regulated sectors. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed, consistent with the boutique lobbying consultancy model. Client concentration is spread across at least 18 named logos spanning energy, insurance, construction materials, consumer goods, aviation, real estate, and professional sports, with a mix of large corporates (Saint-Gobain, Vattenfall, Covea, Essity, Aéroport de Nice) and trade associations (LFP via LFF, France Renouvelables, FFC, Gifam, Conseil National du Cuir, AFIEG, UPJ). The firm is registered with HATVP and adheres to AFCL and BASE network ethical charters, positioning transparency as a core operational and commercial attribute.
